Had this one for the first time last April, a 750 ml bottle. Would have to be on my Tops of '10 list somewhere. Silently wished it were offered in small bottles, as well, for I don't always want to take down 25 ounces at once, no matter how good the beer is. Glad to see 4-packs of 12 ounce bottles on my last visit to Zipp's. Here are the notes from April 2010:
"Dark Truth Stout.
Dense, fully opaque inky appearance, with a thick, clotted, creamy cocoa-toned head, leaving lots of lace. Luscious.
Aroma: nuts & toffee, cream & cocoa, nice and roasty, Good.
The label description intrigues. Wheat?Rye?Oats?German hops?Belgian yeast? A lot cooking here. A mighty mix.
Smooth.Rich, meaty, toasty/roasty... good hoppiness, nice tidy tingle, then the roasted malt... or is it oatmeal stout? Mmm. There's some dark fruit, a whisper of smoke, bit of charcoal, covered over by silky smooth deliciousness. There's the dark richness, and it's offset by the rich smooth, easy-drinking, utterly happiness.
Another winner from the Smokestack Series."
